While Dionne Warwick, Michael Feinstein, Chris Botti and Neil Sedaka are the big names attached to the gala celebration of the opening of the Palladium concert hall, the performer I’m most interested in hearing is Cheyenne Jackson.
Haven’t heard of him? Broadway followers may know him as the star of “All Shook Up,” “Xanadu” and the recent revival of “Finian’s Rainbow.” Your teen-age kids might recognize him as the new coach of Vocal Adrenaline on TV’s “Glee.” I’m bullish on him after listening to his cuts on “The Power of Two,” his recent CD with Feinstein, and his equally impressive spot on composer Lance Horne’s new disc “Last Things First.” Here’s hoping undercard position on the gala’s lineup leads to a headline spot soon. Details here.

Terry Dilk, a 20-year resident of Beech Grove, was sworn in as the city’s new mayor Tuesday. Dilk replaces Donald “Joe” Wright, who shocked city council members when he announced his resignation Jan. 3 with a year still left in his term. Dilk was selected to replace Wright by a caucus of precinct committee members. Beech Grove is a city of about 15,000 people in southeast Marion County.

Indianapolis police officer David Moore, who suffered numerous gunshot wounds during a traffic stop Sunday, died this morning at Wishard Hospital after being taken off life support. Moore, a Roncalli High School and Purdue University graduate, was 29. A suspect in the shooting, Thomas Hardy, 60, is being held at Marion County Jail on possible robbery charges, but hasn’t been charged in Moore’s death. Moore, a former department rookie of the year, is the first Indianapolis police officer killed in the line of duty since 2004.
